sorry this is happening
do you know what you are afraid of?

can you try writing and see what happens,
maybe it could help with the anxiety

thanks. it's horrible. like t*aring or ri*ping on the inside. and
like i'm in a very tight space that i can't get out of. and then i also
feel like i need to cry all of the time.

i'm just so scared.

I apologize for my intrusion, and I know this might sound a bit weird,
but I have to ask: Do you happen to be one of my alters? :-?

One of us is named Rayven, and he sometimes spells it Raven. I've
learned in recent years I sometimes do lose time and don't even
realize it until something comes of it some time later, and Rayven has
been somewhat active lately. He's also one of the darker selves, and has
been feeling much like you're stating you do above. So many
coincidences, and one sometimes just cannot be sure. :-/

You're probably not, losing time like that is unusual for me - but it
has happened on occasion, and I just wanted to be sure.

Assuming you're not "my" Rayven/Raven, I can only empathize with your
plight. :-( I hope the kind folks here are able to be of some assistance
to you, they are a bunch of really good listeners. :-)

L8r,
Bill ("The Rainbow Tribe")

i haven't. i don't even know anything about it. probably too expensive
at this point, though. can't even afford regular therapy right now.

thanks for the idea, though.
